has anyone had their calipers powder coated? If so. where did you get the re-built kit for the calpers?

Pelican-Parts has always been good to me and their rebuild kits seem pretty reasonable, there isn't a whole lot to replace anywho. I'm glad I can actually talk about non-sponsoring vendors without being banned on the spot, i.e. e30tech, haha. Here's the link:

+1 for Pelican I've always had good experience with them for my Porsche and BMW's and thank you for the information. I'll be taking my calipers apart this week end and try out my oven for powder coating. Looks like a whole new line of project just arise from learning how to powder coat.

On another note which machine are you guys using for powder coating?

Here's What I got. it's good for occational use but if you are going to make a small Biz out of it, you will want to step up to a better gun.

Here's a helpful forum http://forum.eastwoodco.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9
